Using TransDock micro

About TransDock micro

TransDock micro is an FM transmitter that broadcasts your iPhone audio

to the FM radio in your car, while simultaneously charging your iPhone.

TransDock micro features DLO’s IntelliTune technology, which scans the

airwaves and automatically ﬁnds the best frequencies for transmitting.

TransDock micro also features a unique dial-based interface which provides

a simple and intuitive way to adjust TransDock micro’s settings and tune to

any frequency from 88.1 to 107.9. Like all DLO transmitters, it comes with

the ability to set your own preset stations, so you can save the frequencies

you use most.

Setting Up Your TransDock micro

1. Turn on your car radio and set it to FM radio mode.

2. Insert TransDock micro into your car’s power outlet.

NOTE: You can slightly alter the angle of your TransDock

micro by tilting the dial head up or down. See drawing A

3. Plug the Connector Cable into the iPhone dock connector.

4. To activate TransDock micro’s IntelliTune feature,

press the dial. TransDock micro will display the word

INTELLITUNE as it searches for the optimal frequency.

6 | DLO TRANSDOCK MICRO USER GUIDE

Tips for manually ﬁnding an empty station:

• Be sure to search the entire spectrum of FM frequencies, from 88.1 to

107.9. Don’t just look to the low end of the dial. There are often empty

FM frequencies in the 100’s that work well.

• When using scan/seek on your car’s radio, if your tuner stops on 101

and then jumps to 103, look in the 102 range for empty FM frequencies.

• Try tuning to a strong station, then backing down two frequencies - for

example 103.5 to 103.1. You can often find empty frequencies this way.

If that frequency is taken, scan to the next station and try again.

NOTE: You can also visit www.dlo.com/openFM to ﬁnd the best FM

frequencies in your area.

Finding Empty Radio Frequencies Using IntelliTune

If you live in a big city with a lot of FM radio stations, ﬁnding an empty FM

frequency can be tricky. DLO’s IntelliTune simpliﬁes the process by doing all

the work for you.

To ﬁnd an empty frequency using IntelliTune:

1. Press the dial on TransDock micro. This will activate the IntelliTune search.

While it is searching, the word

INTELLITUNE will appear on TransDock

micro’s display.

2. Once IntelliTune finds an empty frequency, it will display

TUNE RADIO

TO XXX.X

. Then, tune your FM radio to that station and begin enjoying

your iPhone music over your car stereo.

Manually Finding Empty Radio Frequencies

TransDock micro also allows you to manually tune the

transmitter to desired FM frequencies. To do so, simply turn

TransDock micro’s dial to the right to tune to higher stations

and left to tune to lower stations. See drawing B

Getting the Best Sound Quality with TransDock micro

• Use IntelliTune to automatically find the optimal frequency to broadcast

your iPhone over your car’s FM stereo. Then, tune your car’s FM stereo to

the frequency displayed on TransDock micro.

• Choosing between Mono and Stereo in Listening Mode: Mono allows for

much better transmitter performance, while Stereo allows for the best

sonic musical performance.

NOTE: If static or distortion increases, switch to Mono for the best transmitter

performance possible.

• To get the best initial performance from TransDock micro, it is very important

that you set your iPhone EQ to Off and adjust your car’s bass and treble

controls to 0. Then you can experiment with adding bass and treble to your

desired level.

If I leave TransDock micro plugged into my car’s power outlet, will it drain my

car battery?

Probably not, but it’s always a good idea to unplug anything when leaving your

car for a long period of time.

NOTE: Your TransDock micro will continue to draw power from your car’s battery

as long as a device is attached.

Can I use TransDock micro with other devices?

TransDock micro is designed speciﬁcally for use with iPhone and other

iPod models.

Tips + Troubleshooting

My music is playing, but there seems to be a lot of static.

Use IntelliTune to automatically find the optimal frequency to broadcast

your iPhone over your car’s FM stereo. Then, tune your car’s FM stereo to the

frequency displayed on TransDock micro. You may also try setting the Listening

Mode to Mono, which will improve the clarity of TransDock micro’s signal.

My radio will only scan/seek to occupied FM stations.

Many car radios default to scan/seek mode for tuning, so they automatically tune

to a radio station. Most of these radios can be switched to manual tuning (consult

your car or radio manual on how to do this).

My music sounds overdriven and distorted.

Be sure that the FM station you’re using is still unoccupied as you drive

through different areas. FM signals can intrude on an unused frequency.

Be sure to set your iPhone EQ to Off and adjust your car’s bass and treble controls

to 0. Then you can experiment with adding bass and treble to your desired level.

However, we highly recommend that you start with everything at 0.

My iPhone does not appear to be charging when connected to TransDock micro.

Make sure TransDock micro is securely positioned in your car’s power outlet.

You may also check to ensure that the connector cable is all the way into the

iPhone’s dock connector.
